You should disable the "Automatically Restart" option first. Instructions for XP are here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/russel_02may13.mspx
It's almost the same for Vista, except that you need to select the "Advanced System Settings" option after you click Computer>Properties.

Then, if it happens again, note down the error code and any filenames that might appear on the STOP error screen. Any additional information might help to track down the problem.
